Valley Art Gallery is a beautiful gallery in downtown Forest Grove that has been operating for over 50 years. Today's artist reception was wonderful. It was exciting to see 20 of my paintings all hung together. The gallery did a great job!
Thank you to all that attended and a special thank you to those who purchased paintings. I have a bitter sweet feeling when I see a customer take a painting home. Half of me loves seeing the joy the painting brings to the patron and the other half of me hates to see the painting go to a new home. When you spend hours creating a painting you become a bit attached to every brush stroke. I must get over this or I'll end up with thousands of paintings.
